4 stars Review #146!

(A Quick Forward) I have gone through a few Docx and Google Document files today, and uncovered a few reviews I never got to posting. I realized that this little guy was left sitting in alonely file since September! (The Actual Review) Roz Vitalis's album 'Quia Nesciunt Quid Faciunt', translated from Latin as "They know not what they do'', is the wild, devious, yet fun amalgamation of Himiko Kikuchi's album 'Flying Beagle', Chon's 'Grow', and King Crimson's 'THRAK', which are all albums I'm sure this band has heard. A jazzy, groovy, yet occasionally mathy, and always cerebral and instrumental recording, this album is sure to keep any enjoyer of the aforementioned genre entertained and on the tippitiest of their toes. Sometimes acoustic and chamber-folky, sometimes electric and metallic, and sometimes electronic and synthpoppy, this album, almost all the way through, never fails to captivate the listener with emotion-filled music, no matter which emotion it evokes. The only thing I think that drags this album down from a solid five-star rating is the overuse of synthesized instruments. As an artist who often finds themselves having to use these to replace those I don't own or have the money to, I completely understand, but this acknowledgment doesn't fix the problem. But at least, it improves my respect and understanding of the situation. And for context as to what other bands this album sounds like: Squid, Triumvirat, some Peter Hammill (just the music, of course), and even a hint of 'The Ladder'-era Yes. As a severely underground and unheard- of gem, hear my decree: check this album out as soon as you can! It's worth the listen!
